Living alone in Shencheng, Su Nian is the most overlooked person in the workplace. By day, she buries herself in writing at her cubicle. At night, she returns to a cramped rented room and deals with her family's demands. She's like a taut string, until she meets Lu Zeyan at a cultural and creative project meeting.
Dressed in a suit, he's an evaluator sent by an investment bank. He calmly points out where her work has gone wrong, bringing tears to her eyes.
Later, he sees her staying up late over a single line of copy, and witnesses the sorry state she's reduced to when her family corners her. She, in turn, catches him at an exhibition of intangible cultural heritage, looking unusually tender as he gazes at an embroidery pattern thought to be lost.
“Su Nian, you deserve to be seen.”
“Lu Zeyan, could you stop keeping your distance all the time?”
Over three years, she grows from an ignored content editor into an entrepreneur who can stand on her own, while he leaves investment banking to establish a cultural and creative fund. When she gives an acceptance speech on the platform she founded, he stands below the stage and finally says what he has kept in his heart: “The one thing I never planned for on this journey was falling so deeply in love with you.”
